8 1. GENERAL Alistithmar for Financial Securities and Brokerage Company - Alistithmar Capital (the Company ) is a Saudi closed joint stock company established under the Regulations for Companies in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. The Company was converted from a limited liability company to a Saudi closed joint stock company on Jumada Awal 19, 1436H (corresponding to March 10, 2015). The Company operates under Commercial Registration No issued in Riyadh on Rajab 8, 1428 H (corresponding to July 22, 2007). The Company also operates its activities under Authorization License number ( ) dated Jumada Awal 16, 1428 H (corresponding to June 2, 2007) issued by the Capital Market Authority (CMA). The Company s first fiscal period under legal status of a closed joint stock company is from the date of ministerial resolution, March 10, 2015 and ended on The Company s statutory financial statements for the subsequent years will be prepared from January 1 and end at the end of December of each Gregorian year. The Company s registered postal address is as follows: Alistithmar for Financial Securities and Brokerage Company - Alistithmar Capital P. O. Box 6888 Riyadh Kingdom of Saudi Arabia The Company s share capital of SR 250 million as at 2016 and 2015 consists of 25,000,000 fully paid shares of SR 10 each, and is wholly-owned by the Saudi Investment Bank. The principal activities of the Company are dealing in securities as principal and agent, underwriting, management of investment funds and private investment portfolios on behalf of customers, arrangement and advisory and custody services relating to financial securities. 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. Basis of preparation The accompanying financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention on the accrual basis of accounting, as modified by revaluation of available-for-sale investments to fair value, and in compliance with the accounting standards generally accepted in Saudi Arabia and promulgated by Saudi Organization for Certified Public Accountants ( SOCPA ). Critical accounting estimates and judgments The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting standards requires the use of certain critical estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the reporting date and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Estimates and judgments are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. The Company makes estimates and assumptions concerning the future. The resulting accounting estimates will, by definition, seldom equal the related actual results. Foreign currency translation (a) Reporting currency These financial statements are presented in Saudi Riyals ( SR ) which is the functional currency of the Company. (b) Transactions and balances Foreign currency transactions are translated into Saudi Riyals using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation at the year-end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognized in the statement of income. Cash and cash equivalents Cash and cash equivalents include cash at bank and highly liquid investments that are readily convertible into cash with original maturities of three months or less from the date of original acquisition

9 Margin loans and murabaha financing Margin loans and murabaha financing are recognized when cash is advanced to the borrowers. They are derecognized when either borrower repays their obligations, or the balance is sold or written-off, or substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership are transferred to other party. Margin loans and murabaha financing are carried at the amount advanced to the customers, including related transaction cost less any provision for credit losses, if any. A provision against credit losses is established when there is objective evidence that the Company will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original terms. All margin loans and murabaha financing at 2016 are maturing within one year. Available for sale investments Available for sale investments are those intended to be held for an unspecified period of time, which may be sold in response to needs for liquidity or changes in commission rates, exchange rates or equity prices or that not classified as held to maturity or held for trading. These investments are included in non-current assets unless management intends to sell such investments within twelve months from the balance sheet date. All investment securities are initially recognized upon acquisition at cost, including acquisition charges associated with the investment. Subsequently, available for sale investments are measured at fair value at the balance sheet with any gain or loss arising from a change in the fair value is recognized directly under equity. On de-recognition, any cumulative gain or loss previously recognized in equity is included in the statement of income for the period/year. For securities traded in organized financial markets, fair value is determined by reference to exchange quoted market bid prices at the close of business on the balance sheet date. Fair value of investments in mutual funds is determined by reference to declared net asset values. For securities when there is no quoted market price, a reasonable estimate of the fair value is determined by reference to the current market value of another instrument which is substantially the same or is based on the expected cash flows of the security. Where the fair values cannot be derived from active markets, they are determined using a variety of valuation techniques that includes the use of mathematical models. The input to these models is taken from observable market where possible, but where this is not feasible, a degree of judgment is required in establishing fair values. For investments where the fair values cannot be reliably measured, these are carried at cost. Goodwill Goodwill represents the difference between the purchase value and the fair value of the net assets acquired at the purchase date. The price is determined as the fair value at the acquisition date. Goodwill is stated at the balance sheet date at cost reduced for impairment in value, if any. Property and equipment Property and equipment are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation except work-in-progress which is carried at cost. Depreciation is charged to the statement of income, using the straight-line method to allocate the costs of the related assets over the following estimated useful lives: Number of years Leasehold improvements Over the lease period or 5 years, whichever is lesser Computers 4 Vehicles 4 Furniture and office equipment 4-10 Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing proceeds with carrying amount and are included in the statement of income. Maintenance and normal repairs which do not materially extend the estimated useful life of an asset are charged to the statement of income, as and when incurred. Major renewals and improvements, if any, are capitalized and the assets so replaced are retired

10 Impairment of financial assets An assessment is made at each balance sheet date to determine whether there is objective evidence that a financial asset or group of financial assets may be impaired. If such evidence exists, any impairment loss is recognized in the statement of income. Impairment is determined as follows: For assets carried at fair value, impairment is the difference between the cost and fair value. For assets carried at cost, impairment is the difference between the cost and the present value of future cash flows discounted at the current market rate of return for a similar financial asset. For assets carried at amortized cost, impairment is based on estimated cash flows that are discounted at the original effective interest rate. Accounts payable and accruals Liabilities are recognized for amounts to be paid for goods and services received, whether or not billed to the Company. Provisions Provisions are recognized when; the Company has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of a past event; it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation; and the amount can be reliably estimated. Zakat and income tax In accordance with the regulations of the General Authority of Zakat and Tax (GAZT), the Company is subject to zakat attributable to the Saudi shareholders and to income taxes attributable to the foreign shareholders. Provisions for zakat and income taxes are charged to the equity accounts of the Saudi and the foreign shareholders, respectively. Additional amounts payable, if any, at the finalization of final assessments are accounted for when such amounts are determined. Employees termination benefits Employee termination benefits required by Saudi Labor and Workman Law are accrued by the Company and charged to the statement of income. The liability is calculated; at the current value of the vested benefits to which the employee is entitled, should the employee leave at the balance sheet date. Termination payments are based on employees final salaries and allowances and their cumulative years of service, as stated in the laws of Saudi Arabia. Employees long-term benefits The Company offers its eligible employee security and savings plans that are based on mutual contributions by the Company and the employees. Also, the Company offers its eligible Saudi employees long-term service award. Income recognition Brokerage fees are recognized on accrual basis upon delivery of services to customers and is stated net of discounts, if any, based on agreed applicable service contracts. Commission income from margin loans and murabaha financing are recognized based on the effective rate of return during the contract period, reduced by relevant commission charged by the Bank on funds provided to finance the margin loans and murabaha financing. Asset management fees are recognized on the accrual basis as services are provided. Advisory, including corporate finance, custody and other service fees are recognized when the related services have been provided. Income on time deposits with the Bank is recognized on accrual basis. Dividends income from investments is recognized when the Company s right to receive the dividends is established

(b) Geographical segment A geographical segment is group of assets, operations or entities engaged in revenue producing activities within a particular economic environment that are subject to risk and returns different from those operating in other economic environment.

Operating lease Rental expenses under operating leases are charged to the income statement over the period of the respective lease. Fiduciary assets Assets held in trust or in a fiduciary capacity are not treated as assets of the Company and, accordingly, are not included in these accompanying financial statements.

The Company believes that it has the basis to challenge such amounts; accordingly, no liability was recorded in the financial statements for the year ended FIDUCIARY ASSETS Clients money accounts As at 2016, the Company is holding clients money accounts, with the Bank, amounting to SR 1,402 million ( 2015: SR 1,045 million), to be used for investments upon client discretion. Consistent with its accounting policy, such balances are not included in the Company s financial statements. Assets under management The market value of net assets under management at 2016 amounted to approximately SR 5,135 million ( 2015: SR 4,394 million). 18. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND RISK MANAGEMENT Financial instruments carried on the balance sheet include cash and cash equivalents, margin loans and murabaha financing, accrued management fees and commission income, available for sale investments, bank overdraft, accrued expenses and other current liabilities. The particular recognition methods adopted are disclosed in the individual policy statements associated with each item. Credit risk Credit risk is the risk that one party of a financial instrument will fail to discharge an obligation and cause the other party to incur a financial loss. The Company has established procedures to manage credit exposure including evaluation of borrowers' credit worthiness, formal credit approvals, assigning credit limits, obtaining collateral such as managing borrowers' portfolios. Individual margin loan and murabaha financing contracts generally are for terms not exceeding twelve months. Concentrations of credit risk arise when a number of counter-parties are engaged in similar business activities, or activities in the same geographic region, or have similar economic features that would cause their ability to meet contractual obligations to be similarly affected by changes in economic, political or other conditions. Concentrations of credit risk indicate the relative sensitivity of the Company's performance to developments affecting a particular industry or geographical location. The Company manages its credit risk exposure through attempting to diversify its lending activities to ensure that there is no undue concentration of risks with individuals or groups of customers. The Company follows a credit methodology with its margin borrowing customers that allows maintaining certain collateral margin coverage against the granted margin loans. Any exception of individual margin loan from the coverage rule is closely watched by management to execute remedial cash margins or sale of the securities held. Commission rate risk Commission rate risk is the uncertainty of future earnings resulting from fluctuations in commission rates. The risk arises when there is a mismatch in the assets and liabilities which are subject to commission rate adjustment within a specified period. The most important source of such rate risk is the Company's borrowings and lending s, where fluctuations in commission rates, if any, are reflected in the results of operations

17 Currency risk Currency risk is the risk that the value of a financial instrument will fluctuate due to changes in foreign exchange rates. The Company's transactions are principally in Saudi Riyals accordingly the Company is not exposed to significant foreign exchange risk. Liquidity risk Liquidity risk is the risk that an enterprise will encounter difficulty in raising funds to meet commitments associated with financial instruments. Liquidity risk may result from an inability to sell a financial asset quickly at an amount close to its fair value. Liquidity risk is managed by monitoring on a regular basis that sufficient funds are available through committed credit facilities to meet any future commitments. Fair value Fair value is the amount for which an asset could be exchanged, or a liability settled between knowledgeable willing parties in an arm's length transaction. As the Company's financial instruments are compiled under the historical cost convention, except for available-for-sale investments which are carried at fair values, differences can arise between the book values and the fair value estimates. Management believes that the fair values of the Company s financial assets and liabilities are not materially different from their carrying values. 19.
